Canadian Boating Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is required for boats longer than 24m?

A buoyant heaving line at least 30m in length

For boats longer than 24m, a buoyant heaving line at least 30m in length is required. This is because a longer boat requires a longer line in case of emergency such as a person falling overboard and needing to be pulled back to the boat. The other options, although important safety equipment for any boat, are not specifically required for boats longer than 24m. A watertight flashlight is useful in case of low visibility, a manual propelling device can be used in case of engine failure, and six Canadian-approved pyrotechnic distress signals can be used to signal for help. However, these items are not specifically mandated for boats longer than 24m.
